2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO "E" AND THE LOW FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. NOW WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK, THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND AFTER I DRIVE ABOUT 20-30 MILES IT WILL MOVE UP TO ABOUT 1/4 TANK BUT NO HIGHER AND SOMETIMES IT WILL STILL MOVE BACK TO EMPTY THAT SLOWLY MOVE BACK UP. ALSO SOMETIMES THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WILL DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE IDLING OR IN PARK AND THE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR WILL APPEAR, BUT AS SOON AS THE GAS IS PRESSED, THE PRESSURE WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO, ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, THE KEYLESS ENTRY/ALARM/BACK LIFTGATE LOCK AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHT ALL STOPPED WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS PROBABLY A GROUNDING WIRE ISSUE BUT NOT DEFINITIVE. NOW MY LIFTGATE WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WE NOTICED THE WE WERE BEING PASSED EXCESSIVELY, WE LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND SAW THAT WE WERE DOING SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. OUT OF CURIOSITY WE CHECKED OUR SPEED AGAINST OUR GPS / SMART PHONE AND SAW THAT WE WERE DOING 30 MPH UNDER THE SPEED BEING REPORTED BY OUR SPEEDOMETER. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET WE FOUND THAT 100'S IF NOT 1000'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OR EVEN SOMETIMES IN REVERSE WHERE IT STATES THAT THEY ARE DOING 120 MPH WHEN THEY ARE ONLY DOING A FRACTION OF THAT. IN ADDITION WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS SAME PART ON OTHER GM VEHICLES FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON BUT THE TRAILBLAZER WAS EXCLUDED FOR WHATEVER REASON. HOW CAN NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOUR ACTUALLY GOING NOT BE A MAJOR HAZARD ESPECIALLY WITH A PROVEN HISTORY OF FAILURES. *TR

STARTING UP MY CAR LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING,I WENT TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE WAS A HESITATION THEN IT STOPPED AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING.FROM THAT POINT FORWARD I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN OR UP AND LOST ALL FUNCTIONS FROM THAT CONTACT PAD....IN LOOKING THRU THE VARIES RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE IN 2006,2007. IF THIS RECALL INITIATED WITH THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN 08/12, WHY IS THIS MODEL NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???? WHY WILL I HAVE TO PAY THE $400 IN REPAIRS SOMEHOW THIS DOESN'T SEEM ETHICAL. ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER...I AM SURE I AM PREACHING TO THE CHOIR BUT MAYBE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH INCITE AS TO THE LOGIC!!!!!!!! *TR

MULTIPLE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THEY INCLUDE: FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, VOLTMETER, AND TACHOMETER. THE FIRST TO GO OUT WAS THE FUEL GAUGE. THEN SPEEDOMETER, FOLLOWED BY THE VOLTMETER AND THE TACHOMETER ABOUT THE SAME TIME. CHEVY HAS FIXED THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE BY RECALL. BUT HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE OTHER GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A RAINY STATE WITH THE DRIVER'S WINDOW PARTIALLY CRACKED. WATER BEGAN DRIPPING IN ONTO THE DRIVER WINDOW CONTROL PANEL, SO I CLOSED THE WINDOW. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WENT TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORKED. THERE WAS A FAINT ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. ALL FOUR WINDOW CONTROLS ON THE PANEL WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION AS WELL AS THE HEATED SEAT BUTTONS. THE DOOR LOCK STILL FUNCTIONED AS WELL AS THE WINDOW LOCK OUT BUTTON. I'M JUST GLAD THIS HAPPENED WITH THE WINDOW UP. SWAPPING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL ALLOWS YOU TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOW, SO IT IS THE CONTROL PANEL THAT IS DEFECTIVE. I SEE THAT THE 2006 AND 2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS DUE TO FIRES, BUT NO RECALL EXISTS FOR THE 2005 FIRES AS FIRES HAVEN'T BEEN REPORTED YET. *TR

SATURDAY NIGHT (03/1/14) ON OUR WAY HOME IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY, THE VISIBILITY WAS LOW AND OUR WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP AND THE FRONT HEATER BLOWER WENT OFF ON OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. WHILE TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OVER WE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T SEE THROUGH OUR FOGGED UP WINDOWS.. AFTER WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF THE BLOWER MOTOR CAME ON AND CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, SO WE RE-STARTED THE CAR, AND THE BLOWER WENT OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON... THEN TODAY I WENT OUT STARTED THE CAR TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AND THE BLOWER CAME ON. I DROVE TO THE STORE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN SO I RE-STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED. WHEN I RE-ENTERED THE CAR TO GO HOME THE BLOWER ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ANY SPEED. SO I FIGURED IF I DIDN'T HAVE HEAT AT LEAST I HAD A HEATED SEAT BUT AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINS THE SEAT PART OF THE SEAT GOT SO HOT IT WAS BURNING MY BUTT AND THIGHS SO I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF. THEN ABOUT 1/2 HOME THE BLOWER JUST STARTED BLOWING AGAIN, I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE AGAIN CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SO AGAIN I PUT THE KEY IN STARTED THE CAR THEN TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE MOTOR STOPPED. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD/WINDOWS IN THESE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS< PLUS NOT HAVING HEAT IN BELOW ZERO TEMPS IS A HEALTH HAZARD AS WELL. ( SINCE WE LIVE IN SUCH A COLD SNOWY STATE). *TR

I HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH MY FUEL GAUGE AND DASH READING FOR YEARS NOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH JUST MY TRUCK BUT IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS AS THERE IS AN ISSUE. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW AND CURRENTLY HAVE 178,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD BYTHE DEALER THAT THE GAS GAUGE ISSUE WOULD NOT BE COVERED AS IT'S 10 YEARS OR 120,000 WHICH EVERY CAME FIRST. MY DASH BOARD HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR SOME TIME FIRST IT WAS THE SPEEDOMETER AND THEN THE OIL AND OTHER'S COMPONENTS SOON FOLLOWED. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE YESTERDAY FROM A DEALERSHIP. THEY FILLED THE GAS TANK UP BEFORE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT BECAUSE, THEY SAID, "THE GAS GAUGE ISN'T WORKING." I WAS LOOKING UP WHAT IT COULD BE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH COMPLAINTS OF THIS, 668 PEOPLE. I SUPPOSE I'M THE 669TH PERSON. THERE WASN'T A RECALL THAT I COULD FIND, BUT INVESTIGATIONS WERE BEING DONE? *TR

VEHICLE'S HEADLAMPS WILL POWER SURGE, DIM WHILE DRIVING PERIODICALLY. FUEL SENSOR SHOWED CONSTANT EMPTY UNTIL REPAIRED BY THE RECALL. VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY SURGE FORWARD REVVING ON IT'S OWN AT RANDOM TIMES. THE BLOWER RESISTOR PACK HAS BURNT UP TWICE, THE BLOWER MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE MELTED WIRES.NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, RADIO, DOME LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER. SEEMS LIKE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *TR
